"What shall I give you to equal this gift
of a kingdom?"
ADI PARVA
अत्यन्तं सख्यमिच्छामीत्याह तं स सुयोधनः ।
हर्षाच्चोभौ समाश्लिष्य परां मुदमवापतुः ॥
"Friendship unto the very end, I would
have," said Duryodhana to him. Clasping
each other in glee, the two went
into raptures.
ततस्त्रस्तो
विवेशाधिरथो रङ्गं यष्टिप्राणो
Then, with the upper garment slipped,
with profuse perspiration and tremor,
Adhiratha (Karna's foster-father) entered
the arena, supporting himself on a staff
and as if calling (his son ).
तमालोक्य धनुस्त्यक्त्वा पितृगौरवयन्त्रितः ।
कर्णोऽभिषेका
On seeing him, Karna, bound by his
respect for his father, threw the bow and,
with his head wet with the coronation-water,
bowed.
